Have you got a Grimore of Light Filled with Dark Regrets

A voice whispered at 1 am. As I sit alone at the worn gates of Yesterday Looking through the Past's White painted windows Unafraid Lost in deep thoughts as I watch once lost memories Drive past like a new presidential JFK motorcade Looking closely at the happy and sad games We once played You and me Eventually Holding hands tightly Whilst the ungodly Gossiping band Loudly played As our Titanic slowly sunk I can still see Reflected in your deliciously dark eyes The night I surrendered A magical night I'll always remember But as all things In my cursed life Everything changed as The metaphorical iceberg struck And our love slowly drowned as it Shrunk That seemingly endless night we once shared Is it now torn beyond all repair You were once all I ever needed And will never forget But as I still live in here Wandering through the Alabaster Hall Of The Great In-Between I will always write your beloved name Using beautiful syllables In my eternal book of spells Beside other failed dreams Called The Grimore of Light Filled with Dark Regrets Where you'll forever live As I sometimes sit at the gates of yesterday Once again Wandering through green fields of yellow memories Still clinging onto fragments of your sensuous silhouette Somewhere If you can hear me I hope our old love Still in your heart as in mine Holds forever strong With memories of me As it too Pirouettes Before it too enters your Grimore of Light Filled with Dark Regrets (C) Copyright John Duffy
